I'm at the end of my rope here... (hopefully this isn't OT, since it's
dealing with a web server...)

Installed Mandrake 9.1 for a web/email server on a Dell OptiPlex GX1p.
Install went great, everything is up and running, except one thing. I cannot
get it to resolve domain names. Here are the stats for my network:

Small Business Server 2000 running DNS and DHCP. Dell TrueMobille 1184
router with a static IP address. Cable modem through Charter Pipeline.
Address for Mandrake box is reserved in SBS DHCP.

Internal IPs:
W2K box is 192.168.16.10
Mandrake is 192.168.16.15
Router is 192.168.16.1

The Mandrake box will go to IP addresses just fine. It can be seen on the
network just fine. (I.E. from my W2K workstation I can type it's IP address
in and it takes me to the machines web page). DNS on the Mandrake box (in
resolv.conf) has been set a couple of ways. First:
domain W2Kboxname.local
W2k box (192.168.16.10)
Charter DNS 01
Charter DNS 02

then:
search 192.168.16.10
Charter DNS 01
Charter DNS 02
W2K box (192.168.16.10)

ifconfig reports:
inet addr:192.168.16.15 Bcast:192.168.16.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

route -n reports:
Destination  | Gateway      | Genmask       | Flags | Metric | Ref | Use |
Iface
192.168.16.0 | 0.0.0.0      | 255.255.255.0 | U     | 0      | 0   | 0   |
eth0
127.0.0.0    | 0.0.0.0      | 255.0.0.0     | U     | 0      | 0   | 0   |
lo
0.0.0.0      | 192.168.16.1 | 0.0.0.0       | UG    | 0      | 0   | 0   |
eth0

Anybody? I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out. I've posted to a
couple of messageboards and been googling all morning!

TIA!

Erik
